Mumpsimuses?

"Anonymous" recently added the following under the "Stubbornly boneheaded" comment thread:
Well, better late than never...

In answer to what we call the believers, mumpsimuses.

mumpsimus (pl. mumpsimuses) n.
•A person who obstinately adheres to old ways in spite of clear evidence that they are wrong
•A traditional custom or notion adhered to although shown to be unreasonable.
--a person who obstinately adheres to such a custom or notion.
